It wasn't too long ago that China had a reputation as a coal-guzzling, smog-blanketed polluter. But that is changing - and fast.

The new iOS 11 introduces ARKit, a new framework that allows you to easily create augmented reality (AR) experiences for iPhone and iPad. By blending digital objects and information with the environment around you, ARKit takes apps beyond the screen, freeing them to interact with the real world in entirely new ways.

Short-term leasing agent Popupshopup is offering short-term leases to landlords as the retail leasing sector changes under the weight of retail disruption in major cities. Terms range from one day to six months. Tenants can search for space on Popupshopup's website and sign for it online. This new concept gives emerging brands the opportunity to test product and experiences directly with shoppers. While long-term tenures of at least three years or more are standard more retailers are opting for shorter leases that serve their predominantly online business, much like startups favouring co-working spaces to fixed offices. www.popupshopup.com.au
